We are making HTML5 animations in Adobe Edge and including them into InDesign, and now when you look at, say, page one, all other animations are already preloaded and starts playing, which is unacceptable.

Is there any way to trace (via API or other ways) if we are currently looking at a page to tell Edge to start?

And which is more important - is there Adobe DSP html5 API to work with?

I have noticed that weeks ago. But how can I add an Edge animation on page 7 if it starts to play even before reaching page 7? Should I add a trigger button so the user makes the animation start when he displays page 7 ? I don't understand why a Load on Page would be so difficult to do.

tony - that won't help. All the animations are now loaded simultaneously. What you can do is loop all actions, so it won't affect you. But if you have time-based animation, that won't work, only if you force users to click the animation, which is pretty annoying.

We've been investigating this issue internally, and believe we have a temporary workaround. Can you try setting the delay on the web overlay to some number larger than zero (perhaps 0.0001) and see if that resolves your issue?

Thanks. Can you double-check that you were updating the folio in Folio Builder after making the change? We're able to confirm the workaround on our end, however we did forget to update the folio in FB once and thought it wasn't working

If you find it still isn't working when you verify tomorrow would you mind sending me your InDesign file? My address is listed in my profile. Thanks!

PreMedia, can you please provide more details on what specifically you tried to set and what behaviour you saw on ipad 2? If you set the delay in the Web Overlay panel to 0.125 and are careful to update the article in folio builder you should see the correct, start on page load, behaviour

The problem with that is not the delay (which can be 0.125) but with the web content starting to load when that 0.125 is done, which sometimes means another 2 or more seconds if you have an animation that is complicated. Is there a way to preload web content but have it play after 0.125 secs?

Not currently, but it's on my list to try and get done in Release 20. It's more work than you'd think to switch up the UI so it's abundantly clear how to do "pre-load" vs. "auto-play", but I do hope we can get rid of the one second+ wait that's always there before the content appears. If we can do that, at least the delay before display will only be 0.125 seconds.
